Past simple and Past Continuous

 Пример употребления Past Simple и Past Continuous

По­го­во­рим се­год­ня о про­шед­ших и дли­тель­ных про­шед­ших со­бы­ти­ях, то есть о таких вре­ме­нах, как the Past Simple и the Past Continuous Tenses.

What did you do last weekend?

I visited my brother in London last weekend. We were talking when his wife came home.​His wife cooked a wonderful dinner at eight o’clock in the evening. We were having dinner when we decided to go to the London Eye. Did you go there? 

Что ты делал на про­шлых вы­ход­ных?

Я на­ве­стил сво­е­го брата в Лон­доне на про­шлых вы­ход­ных. Мы раз­го­ва­ри­ва­ли, когда его жена при­ш­ла домой. Его жена при­го­то­ви­ла ве­ли­ко­леп­ный ужин в во­семь часов ве­че­ра. Мы ужи­на­ли, когда ре­ши­ли по­ка­тать­ся на ко­ле­се обо­зре­ния (the London Eye). Ты был там?

В при­ме­ре мы ис­поль­зо­ва­ли два ос­нов­ных про­шед­ших вре­ме­ни – the Past Simple и the Past Continuous. Эти два вре­ме­ни от­ли­ча­ют­ся друг от друга. Слу­шай­те, чи­тай­те и сле­дуй­те пра­ви­лам.

 Употребление Past Simple

The Past Simple ис­поль­зу­ет­ся, когда мы го­во­рим о со­бы­тии, ко­то­рое про­изо­шло в ка­кой-то мо­мент в про­шлом. На­при­мер:

I visited my brother in London last weekend. (Я на­ве­стил брата в Лон­доне на про­шлых вы­ход­ных.)

She cooked a wonderful dinner at eight o’clock in the evening. (Она при­го­то­ви­ла ве­ли­ко­леп­ный ужин в во­семь часов ве­че­ра.)

 Употребление Past Continuous

The Past Continuous обыч­но ис­поль­зу­ет­ся, когда мы хотим под­черк­нуть про­дол­жи­тель­ность дей­ствия. На­при­мер:

They were talking when she arrived. (Они раз­го­ва­ри­ва­ли, когда она при­ш­ла.)

When we were having dinner we decided to go to the London Eye. (Когда мы ужи­на­ли, мы ре­ши­ли по­ка­тать­ся на ко­ле­се обо­зре­ния (the London Eye).

The Past Continuous также ис­поль­зу­ет­ся, чтобы под­черк­нуть то, что про­ис­хо­ди­ло в опре­де­лен­ный мо­мент в про­шлом. На­при­мер:

I was attending my English class at 2.30 yesterday afternoon. (Я за­ни­мал­ся ан­глий­ским в 2.30 вчера днём).

Alice was preparing a Power Point project at six yesterday evening. (Алиса го­то­ви­ла пре­зен­та­цию в Power Point в шесть ве­че­ра вчера.)

Рис. 2. Срав­ни­тель­ная ха­рак­те­ри­сти­ка Past Simple и Past Continuous

Если необ­хо­ди­мо по­ка­зать, что новое дей­ствие имеет место в се­ре­дине дру­го­го, ис­поль­зу­ют­ся оба вре­ме­ни:
